A new Planetarium opened in the metropolis in 2013, in a purpose-built building in the heart of the Olympic Park, annexed to the Biodôme. Its innovative concept is at one with its reinvented approach, which sets it apart from other planetariums around the world. In addition to its exhibitions, it is above all its immersive shows that draw the crowds, including Un jour sur Mars, a vertiginous immersive experience on the Red Planet. A must-see! Also on site: a souvenir store and an all-vegetarian restaurant.

Message from Management
The Rio Tinto Alcan Planetarium is synonymous with an unparalleled cosmic adventure in a state-of-the-art, environmentally friendly facility. Just a stone's throw from the Biodôme, art, culture and emotion come together to rediscover astronomy from a different angle. You can admire the gigantic van der Heide sundial or the statue of the famous Nicolas Copernicus. The "Passport to the Universe", a 3D film projected in the 360° dome takes you into space, while being comfortably installed in a giant pouffe in the middle of the room. Not to mention the "Continuum", an astronomical theater that will leave you amazed by the beauty of the Milky Way. An immersive and fascinating experience not to be missed.

Members' reviews on MONTREAL PLANETARIUM

Le clou du spectacle a été l'expérience cinématographique à 360°, à couper le souffle. Regarder les étoiles et la lune sur un écran aussi gigantesque était surréaliste, comme si nous entrions dans un rêve. La personne qui faisait la démonstration était incroyablement bien informée et expliquait tout en détail, ce qui rendait l'expérience facile à suivre et à apprécier. La musique de fond apaisante a ajouté à l'atmosphère magique, rendant l'expérience inoubliable.
J'ai trouvé cette activité très apaisante et j'y reviendrai certainement. Je la recommande vivement à tous ceux qui recherchent une sortie paisible et impressionnante !
